Scary ObituaryIn 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at theUniversity of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of theAthenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is alwaystemporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanentform of government. A democracy will continue to exist up untilthe time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generousgifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majorityalways votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits fromthe public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finallycollapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by adictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from thebeginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."The Obituary follows:

Born 1776, Died 2012 It doesn't hurt to read this several times. Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law inSt. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerningthe last Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29 Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000 Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territoryMcCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizensof the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in lowincome tenements and living off various forms of governmentwelfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition ofdemocracy, with some forty percent of the nation's populationalready having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty millioncriminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can saygoodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just howmuch is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to ourfreedom..

This is truly scary

Here is a link for you serious readers as well as history buffs.http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/731Do be advised that Gibson wrote 5 more volumes about the fall of Rome besides this tome, his first.

Gibbons first volume was published in February 1776 just five months before our Declaration of Independence was adopted and signed. Gibbons is known in some circles as the "father" of the enlightenment. So he is in some ways responsible for the creation of this country.

Everything that Gibbons wrote about Rome is relevant to what is happening today in America. Read his words at your own peril. Be warned however Gibbons is a master wordsmith of the English language, you may not be able to put his books down once you start reading.

If you enjoy old books the Guttenberg Project is a good place to read or down load them for cheap or even in these cases for free.

Here is another two books you may find let us say interesting, otherwise known as what your government doesn’t want our service men and women to know. Both are by Sir Winston Churchill and the first book deals exclusively with his service on the Afghanistan-Indian (Pakistan) frontier, and secondly his service in the ‘Soudan’ sic or Darfur region of Africa. You can almost hear the modern day rattle of Kalashnikov AK47s instead of Muslim muskets echoing across the decades in both of these Churchill books. They are both easy reads.
